What percentage pay cut would you take to have your own office rather than being seated in an open plan environment?

Great question! It is sad that we are even considering a pay cut for private office space, but this is the way the world turns now.

I’d say a 5% for a private office with door. 3% for a high wall cube and 1% for a low wall cube (than nobody else can use!).

Oh, and I want the cubes to be arranged so that people can’t just walk up and my screen. It never fails that the one minute I stop to check on an Amazon package status somebody walks up.

I have an office with a door and can confirm - it’s fabulous. Only problem is, now I feel trapped at a toxic agency because I’m used to this, and not sure I can go back to a bullpen.

It’s like getting upgraded to first class knowing that next flight it will be back to cattle class.
